The photographs depicted above are taken with a photographic technique called, “Balance Elements in the Scene.” This photographic technique intends to accentuate the tones and colors of the subjects with equal visual weight. Photos with pairing elements, balanced distribution of subjects, and an odd number of subjects provide ease in the eyes of the audience, for the photos themselves are equally balanced in colors and tones. The photographs provided are some of the most favored “Mukbang” foods. “Mukbang” is actually a portmanteau (combinations of two words into one). “Muk” meaning to eat, and “Bang” meaning broadcast. This word is an official word in the Urban Dictionary. Urban Dictionary defines the word as a trending livestreaming fad in South Korea wherein somebody prepares and/or eats on cam.
